    Charabo,

    If the landowner accepts money for the use of the land, he automatically assumes a duty of care to you and a waiver is of no use.

    Can you guys form a club or join a club and take out an insurance that will indemnify you and the landowner against any litigation?

    It may not be too expensive to purchase, however your club may have to undertake to accept an excess of a few thousand of any claim so as to get the insurance....but it would be worth it..

    This will be a tough sell at best.

    I wouldn’t even enter a conversation without knowing as above that you were part of a wider recognised club and nationwide organisation and have hard evidence of your own insurance in place.

    Waivers as I understand it are useless.

    I wouldn’t do it even if you had all the insurance in the world. There is no upside for the farmer by a bit of Mickey Mouse money.

    There are so many risks here for the landowner and so little reward.
    "Waivers" don't exist. They aren't a thing.
    Find someone willing to sell an acre, club together and take those risks yourselves.
    Or form a club and find out what the insurance premium would be.

    It would take a large sum of money to compensate for the damage caused to the land, the soil structure would be destroyed.
    That along with what alps said above make this a total non runner.
